LAF received a $25,000 pledge from the Eli and Edythe L. Broad Foundation to help establish the Courtland Paul Scholarship, which will provide a significant award to an undergraduate landscape architecture student who is in the junior or senior year of study in a landscape architectural program.

The scholarship will honor the memory of Paul and his lifelong commitment to the landscape architecture profession. Paul died in January at the age of 75. He was one of the first landscape architects in California, and he founded Peridian International in Newport Beach more than 50 years ago.

Contributions can be sent to LAF, attention Ron Figura, 818 18th St. NW, Suite 810, Washington, D.C., 20006.
